New bloke

Post by lavy78 »

Hello all, firstly I'm new to forums generally not just this one, never registered on one before but I'm sure I'll find this more than useful and hope I can help others too.

I was born in to bikes with the garage always having at least one in it, holidays to donny and brands most years...

Bought my first bike at 16 - DT50mx and been riding on and off since, (20 something years...)
I've had a few bikes (won't mention the mopeds lol) from an XL200, ER5, fazer 600 thundercat to a thunderace from what I can remember. Now I've got what I consider my dream bike (until the 2015 model was released!!!!)
I would love to rolling road tune her and mod her, not just for the speed element but just to do it and see the affects of my hard work.

729

Also i'm pretty handy and do all my mechanical work myself (cars and bikes) so I hope I can be of use to some...

I live in Torquay and try to go Bmad in the summer as often as I like but other than that I try and get out on the bike no matter what time of year as long as it's a nice day, I used to ride to work for a few years so was an every dayer at one point, but now I'm almost sad to say I'm a fair weather nancy, I'm sure it happens to us all when we start getting older...

I don't have any goons I ride regularly with but wouldn't pass up the opportunity if something was going down near by...

Cheers

Lavy

Welcome in Ian
The bike looks great & thats a cracking first post with pic's :clap:
Shame your over in Torquay as Clarkey , blackal & i know an excellant tuner with all the kit 1 mile from mallory park !
Just remember with forums that everyones got a different opinion , most of us have a sense of humour & we're all adults ( even if we don't act like it ) you WILL get the piss taken out of you so take the piss back but remember you don't know people yet & they don't know you so the best bet is to join in ;)
How long you had the R1 ?

Cheers guys!

My favourite hobby is banter so looks like I'm in!!

I got a bit confused putting the pic up, didn't get all the jargon going on with how to do it. I've put 2 pics in an album on here but that still had the grey matter whirling around...
